The question is "find the value of each variable" Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the 3 lines with the red arrows are parallel:
-----
That gives 3 similar triangles.
---
b/10 = 12.5/(15+10)
b = 5
------
a/(5+15+10) = b/10 = 5/10
a = 15
-------
(12+c)/12.5 = c/b = c/5
12.5c = 5(12+c) = 5c + 60
c = 8
------
(d+12+c)/a = c/b
(d+20)/15 = 8/5
5d + 100 = 120
d = 4
----------------
There are other ways to do it.
